The New England Patriots overcame some of the toughest defenses in the league to beat the Denver Broncos 10-7 in the AFC Championship, completing a Mike Vrabel-led turnaround that borders on the unprecedented due to how rapid and effective it was. Vrabel's run to the Super Bowl has now helped him make history due to his accomplishments both on the field and sideline as a Patriot. With this victory, Vrabel became the first person in NFL history to play in a Super Bowl with a team and later coach that same team back to the Super Bowl. Thanks to some incompetence from other teams in the league, the Patriots managed to have their perfect coaching candidate fall into their laps. Mike Vrabel makes history with Patriots SB runWhile Vrabel did inherit a quarterback in Maye that might be idiot-proof as far as talent goes, going from 4-13 to a Super Bowl is almost unheard of.
